The PIPA initiative involves a broad stakeholder group working together to develop more detailed guidance for property development in the vicinity of transmission pipelines. (See related article in the DOT Compliance News February 2008 edition.) A draft report is expected by the end of October, which will be distributed to participating PIPA organizations for review/comments that will be due by December. Stakeholder comments will be incorporated during January 2009, with the goal of posting the final PIPA product on the PHMSA Communications website by February 1, 2009.
